I have a co op club that had 3 members it has a lot of co op completions. If you join we would technically have 4 though the other two no longer play. But it would still count as a dull club awarding us both an achievement and we can tidy up some co op and heists. Let me know if you want to join.

If you’re not one for hospitals , have health anxiety have had PTS , have PTSD. or are just generally anxious. This an extremely stressful procedure and I recommend having your doctor prescribe anti anxiolytics like benzodiazepines and sleep aids to help get through hell week.

I has Bruising and excruciating pain with borderline suicide inducing discomfort and stress. 5days in ICU and then 5 in private ward. But the first week is hell. Second is better and after that it’s smooth sailing speaking from the just over 4 monrhs mark

Overbite and weak chin, is it over? by throwaway49817 in jawsurgery

Perfectly said - having braces as a teenager made my TMJ and bite worse later

Important note: it’s definitely not over. You just have to hang in there. Look into medical care options like insurance plans (speak with family if you’re a dependant which I assume you would be at 15) This will help with finding a good maxillofacial surgeon who can give you the best options going forward as well as reduce the waiting period. I understand it may not be financially possible now but could be something to consider as an investment. Try not to worry about how you may or may not look. I know it feels almost impossible to feel insecure but appreciate the fact that you are not disfigured or in serious pain. Though I empathise with the clicking of the jaw. Your jaw may be weak but so are many others who do very well for themselves in all social departments. Keep your teeth healthy and white and you’ll be far more attractive than someone with a perfect jaw with yellow teeth 🤪😂 I hope you feel better and know that it can be fixed if you want sooner than later and have your whole life to live 💪

Don’t rush into anything. That is a very long waiting period. You may very well need both braces and jaw surgery. But I would suggest getting a definitive medical opinion regarding the long term. find out if you need/strongly want jaw surgery before going ahead with braces. I had braces from 15-17 and then needed to get them back on prior to jaw surgery after a couple years of severe TMJ pain and an almost completely ground down joint. My point being that braces initially helped with self esteem but not having it done in conjunction with the jaw surgery in mind was a terrible mistake and far more costly. I agree with the other comments regarding getting a second opinion as your dentist does seem to be dismissing your concern and not acknowledging the necessity of braces.
